It’s important when designing custom QR codes that you use correct brand colors.

I consulted the Twitter branding guidelines and found the that their “bird” color is a hex color – #00ACED. Type this in the “start color box”.

To get that cool gradient effect without losing branding color, put the same web color in the “end color” box and slide the darkness level to your desired color – or you can just use our choice: #00364A.

Hit “Radial” for gradient style – it’s important to select this because you want your start color to be the same as the logo you’ll be placing in the middle.

Step 4 Colorize those eyes:

Click the “eye” option. Simply put the twitter hex color in both boxes. That way you will select both the outer ring and inner ring of they.

Step 5: Put a Bird On It!

Click the “image” tab. then click the Twitter icon. Size the bird to your liking, but we suggest you select “create border around image.”

Why? 1) It looks better and 2) It reduces errors in scanning.

Step 6: Check Yo Self.

Make sure you test your code! Right above the code itself, there is a “test QR code” that you can click and it will automatically run the test. (Don’t worry, we test it even if you forget).
